1. Wake Up Early

Waking up at a decent (early) hour is essential for optimal health.  The human body and brain have evolved to follow a circadian rhythm and is linked to cortisol levels that helps to regulate sleep and wake patterns that are set by our natural environment, specifically the rising and setting of the sun. Following the body’s natural circadian rhythm and cortisol levels is a simple way to maximize energy levels, productivity and overall health.

2. Drink Water Before Anything Else

Staying hydrated is vital for our health and although we’ve heard it many times, it’s often overlooked. Our bodies are 60% water and not drinking enough water can lead to more than just dehydration.

3. Make Time for Movement

Humans are designed to move but as we create more sedentary lifestyles we are moving less and less. Many of us work sitting down, travel sitting down, and relax sitting down, so it is becoming more and more important that we create ways to move since they are no longer occurring organically.

4. Spend Time Outside

Getting fresh air on a regular basis is one of the easiest ways to improve your overall health. Exposure to the sun enables the body to produce vitamin D, which has been shown to have many essential functions in the body. 

5. Eat Sitting Down

Not only does the act of sitting down help to ensure that we are not mindlessly eating in front of the pantry, but eating while sitting down helps to support digestion.

6. Go For a Walk

Walking is often overlooked because it’s so simple or it “doesn’t burn that many calories” but science shows that putting one foot in front of the other can lead to some impressive mental and physical health benefits. 

7. Take Time to Cook 

Learning to cook is one of the simplest healthy daily habits you can do and one of the greatest gifts you can give to your health. Not only is does cooking help to control the quality of the food that you eat, but it helps to create more appreciation for your food and a connection to it. 

8. Eat a Vegetable

Not only are vegetables whole foods but they are rich in vitamins, minerals and are great sources of fiber, which can help to maintain a healthy gut, prevent constipation and other digestion issues.

9. Put Your Phone Away 

Putting away your phone (tablet or computer) might seem like a simple challenge, but being connected 24/7 can have many negative side effects on our health. The average person has eight social media accounts and spends at least 2 hours and 24 minutes checking their phone every day. 

10. End the Day with a Clean Space

The physical space we live in has a large effect on how we behave. A messy bedroom, cluttered living room and dirty kitchen can all have a negative impact on our mental state and our health. 

11. Read Something

Reading has benefits to both your physical and mental health and those benefits can last a lifetime. Not only can reading stimulate growth, but it can help to reduce stress, prevent age-related cognitive decline and promote a good night’s sleep. 

12. Go to Bed Early

Sleep is the only time during the day where our bodies are able to relax, unwind and recover. Unfortunately, many people are falling short of the recommended 8 hours of sleep per night and this can have devastating impacts on our health.
